Joshitai |
| Aizu stands to fall on the losing side of the Boshin war |
| The tragic end of samurai |
| Bring forth the steel |
| We shall defend and protect with honour fierce |
| For this is the end |
| Mother and sister standing by my side |
| My naginata ready to cleave |
| Jōshitai, we fight and die |
| Over capture, slavery, and rape |
| Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
| Don’t be taken alive |
| Yūko, decapitate me |
| Bury my head, hidden deep |
| The gates of Wakamatsu Castle close |
| Shielding the occupants inside |
| They tremble in fear of the Imperials |
| A suicide mission is what they said |
| We attack near the Bridge of Tears |
| Head on and without fear |
| Fighting like a demon possessed |
| But even demons can’t fight forever |
| Jōshitai, we fight and die |
| Over capture, slavery, and rape |
| Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
| Don’t be taken alive |
| Yūko, decapitate me |
| Bury my head, hidden deep |
| I’m hit, a bullet fatal |
| Death approaching so quickly |
| Jōshitai, we fight and die |
| Over capture, slavery, and rape |
| Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
| Do not be taken alive |
| Yūko, you beheaded me |
| Hid my head, buried deep |
